Favorite Things: Vol. XIII – Fall Edition

Favorite Things

In honor of the first week of fall, I decided to do a special edition of Favorite Things! Featuring my favorite fall things that are 167% getting me so amped for leaves changing their colors, apple cider, and crisp air.

1. Fall Candles:

This candle that I ordered off Amazon just smells exactly like fall should. Plus it has the funniest name 😂

It is layered so the scents will change up the longer you burn it. The top is banana bread, the middle is toasted coconut, and the last smells like hazelnut. It also has a 100 hour burn time, so by the time you get to the hazelnut layer, it might be winter!

Me ranting about this candle is NOT sponsored, I just really love it to be honest! And if you want to double up on the smell of banana bread, you could always make my recipe 🙂

2. Soup Season!!!!

This tweet cracked me up:

forget pumpkin spice IT’S SOUP SEASON

YOU’VE GOT
POTATO SOUP
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
FRENCH ONION SOUP
CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
CHEESY BROCCOLI SOUP
ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP
TOMATO SOUP

just so many soups happy soup season

Considering making a post about all of my soup recipes that I compile haha

Do you have a favorite soup recipe? Share it in the comments!

3. Cheetah Print Mules

Someone PLEASEEEEE help my find a cute pair of cheetah print mules that are for narrow feet. I absolutely love this trend for fall, but I’ve ordered like 13 pairs of mules and none are fitting me. How cute is this pair from Amazon? ❤️ Plus they are $25!!

4. Literally Everything

Lastly, what would a Favorite Things post be without my latest letterboard? 🙂 Happy fall y’all!

When I had my first child, I underestimated the po When I had my first child, I underestimated the power of a peaceful bedroom to recover postpartum and exist in the newborn bubble. It might sound kind of silly, but I want to create a peaceful haven in my bedroom for postpartum because the newborn trenches are tough! 

I’m going for neutral in here, but more layered, earthy, textured and elevated (without feeling formal). Next up is styling my bed, giving my nightstands and dressers and makeover, and lots more decor and styling! #homediy #pregnancy #bedroommakeover #bedroomdecor
#SecretDeoPartner On days when I don’t initially f #SecretDeoPartner On days when I don’t initially feel my best, I try to be intentional about doing simple acts to turn that feeling around: putting on a cute outfit just to wear around the house; decorating for fall (arguably) a little early; or wearing an amazing scent. The Secret Cocoa Butter Invisible Solid is my FAVORITE, and its all day freshness gives me a boost of confidence throughout the day. #RomanticizingLife #ToddlerMom @secretdeodorant

Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered around traditionally boy-ish things like trucks and sports, and while my son LOVES those things, I think boys don’t always get all the whimsy that girls get. Whimsy is for girls AND boys!! Every childhood deserves to be whimsical 🥰 #toddlermom #toddleractivities #whimsy #whimsicalhome
